Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon remained defiant today and said he will not quit despite corruption allegations and the possibility that he might be indicted in coming weeks.

The Israeli Justice Ministry was today considering whether to indict Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for allegedly accepting bribes, forcing him to step down, after charges were brought against a close associate.

ARIEL SHARON’S future as Israeli leader was in grave doubt last night as he faced possible charges following the indictment of a property developer on charges of bribing the prime minister.
